HOTEL INSPECTION LAWS 



[Chapter 569— H. F. No. 322.] 

AN ACT relating to the equipment and regula- 
tion of hotels and restaurants, defining the 
same, and relating to the inspection thereof, 
providing for penalties for violations of the 
provisions of this act, and repealing Chapter 
343 of the General Laws of 1905, and Chapter 
206 of the General Laws of 1911. 

Be it Enacted by the Legislature of the State of 
Minnesota: 

HOTELS. 

SECTION 1. Every building or structure, 
kept, used as, maintained as, or advertised as, 
or held out to the public, to be a place where 
sleeping accommodations are furnished to the 
public whether with or without meals shall for 
the purpose of this act be deemed a hotel. 

RESTAURANTS. 

Every building or other structure, and all 
buildings in connection, kept, used, or main- 
tained as, or advertised as, or held out to the 
public to be a place where meals and lunches 
are served without sleeping accommodations, 
shall for the purpose of this act be deemed to 
be a restaurant, and the person or persons in 
charge thereof, whether as owner, lessee, man- 



ager, or agent, for the purpose of this act, shall 
be deemed the proprietor of such restaurant, 
and whenever the word "restaurant" shall oc- 
cur in this act, it shall be construed to mean 
such structure as described in this section. 

STATE HOWEL INSPECTOR'S DUTIES. 
SEC. 2. For the purpose of carrying into ef- 
fect the provisions of this act, the Governor 
shall appoint a hotel inspector at a salary of 
$1,800 per year, payable monthly, who shall 
hold office for two years, and who shall furnish 
a bond in the sum of $2,000.00 to be approved 
by the Attorney General. He shall keep a set 
of books for public use and inspection, showing 
the condition of all hotels and restaurants, to- 
gether with the name or names of the owner, 
proprietor or manager thereof, and showing 
their sanitary condition, the number and con- 
dition of fire escapes, and any other informa- 
tion that may be for the betterment of the pub- 
lic service, and likewise shall assist in the en- 
forcement of any orders promulgated by the 
State Board of Health and Pure Food Depart- 
ment of this state, relating to hotels and res- 
taurants. 

LICENSE AND LICENSE FEE. 

SEC. 3. Within sixty days after the passage 
of this act and each year thereafter, every per- 
son, firm or corporation now engaged in the 
business of conducting a hotel or restaurant, 
and every person, firm or corporation who shall 
hereafter engage in conducting such business, 

—6— 



must procure a license for each hotel or res- 
taurant so conducted, or proposed to be con- 
ducted, provided that one license shall be suffi- 
cient for each combined hotel and restaurant 
where each are conducted in the same building 
and under the same management. Each license 
shall expire on the 31st day of December next 
following its issuance. The hotel inspector 
shall furnish to any person, firm or corporation 
desiring to conduct a hotel or restaurant an ap- 
plication blank to be filled out by such person, 
firm or corporation for a license therefor, and 
which shall require such applicant to state the 
full name and address of the owner of the 
building, the lessee and manager of such hotel 
or restaurant, together with the full description 
of the building and property to be used or pro- 
posed to be used for such business, the location 
of the same, the name under which such busi- 
ness is to be conducted, and such other infor- 
mation as may be required therein by the hotel 
inspector, and such application shall be accom- 
panied by a license fee of $2.00 and all such 
fees shall be turned in to the State Treasury 
on the first day of January, April, July and 
October of each year. 

Upon the approval of such application by 
such hotel inspector, a license to conduct such 
business as such application is made for, shall 
be issued by such hotel inspector. No hotel or 
restaurant shall be maintained and conducted 
in this state after the taking effect of this act, 
without having secured a license therefor as 



herein provided, and no license shall be trans- 
ferable. Provided, however, that after the mak- 
ing of application for license herein provided 
for and pending the issuance of such license, 
such hotel or restaurant shall be permitted to 

operate as such until the final refusal of such 
application by the inspector. 

Provided, also, that no hotel or restaurant 
shall be denied relief in the courts in any ac- 
tion instituted by either such hotel or restau- 
rant by reason of the fact that a license has 
not been issued to such hotel or restaurant. 

ORDERS OF HOTEL INSPECTOR. 
SEC. 4. It shall be the duty of such hotel in- 
spector to inspect or cause to be inspected at 
least once annually every hotel and restaurant 
in this state, and for such purpose he shall 
have the right to enter and have access thereto 
at any reasonable time, and whenever, upon 
such inspection it shall be found that such busi- 
ness and property so inspected is not being 
conducted or is not equipped in the manner 
required by the provisions of this act, or is be- 
ing conducted in such manner as to violate any 
of the laws of this state, it shall thereupon be 
the duty of the hotel inspector to notify the 
owner, proprietor or agent in charge of such 
business, or the owner or agent of the building 
so occupied, of such condition so found, and 
such owner, proprietor or agent shall forthwith 
comply with the provisions of this act unless 
otherwise herein provided. A reasonable time 
may be granted by the hotel inspector for com- 
pliance with the provisions of this act. 



PLUMBING, VENTILATION, AIR SHAFTS, 
LIGHT WELLS. 

SEC. 5. Every hotel and restaurant in this 
state shall be properly plumbed, lighted and 
ventilated, and shall be conducted in every de- 
partment with strict regard to health, comfort 
and safety of the guest. Provided, that such 
proper lighting shall be construed to apply to 
both daylight and illumination, and that such 
proper plumbing shall be construed to mean 
that all plumbing and drainage shall be con- 
structed and plumbed according to approved 
sanitary principles, and that such proper ven- 
tilation shall be construed to mean at least one 
door and one window in each sleeping room. 

No room shall be used for a sleeping room 
which does not open to the outside of the build- 
ing or light wells, air shafts or courts, and all 
sleeping rooms shall have at least one window 
to the outside of the building or light wells, air 
shafts or courts and shall have one door open- 
ing on a hallway. 

In each sleeping room there must be at least 
one window with openings so arranged as to 
provide easy access to the outside of the build- 
ing, light wells, air shafts or courts. 

Provided, that the provisions of paragraphs 
1, 2 and 3 of this section shall not apply to any 
hotel in which the compartments are arranged 
on the cubical plan, or the dormitory plan, in 
conformity with the provisions of local ordi- 
nances and regulations.

PRIVIES. 

In all cities, towns and villages where a sys- 
tem of water works and sewerage is maintained 
for public use, every hotel and rooming house 
shall, within six months after the passage of 
this act, be equipped with suitable water clos- 
ets for the accommodation of its guests, which 
water closet or closets shall be connected by 
proper plumbing with such sewerage system, 
and the means of flushing such water closets 
with the water of said system, in such manner 
as to prevent sewer gas or effluvia from aris- 
ing therefrom. All lavatories, bath tubs, sinks, 
drains, closets and urinals in such hotels must 
be connected and equipped in a similar manner 
both as to methods and time. 

In all cities, towns and villages not having a 
system of water works, every hotel shall have 
properly constructed privies or over vaults 
to receive the night soil, the same to be 
kept clean and well screened at all times, and 
free from all filth of every kind, furnishing sep- 
arate apartments for sexes, each being properly 
designated. 

Each hotel in this state shall be provided 
with a main public wash room convenient and 
of easy access to guests.

SEC. 7. In all hotels and restaurants more 
than two stories high with ten or more sleep- 
ing rooms where sleeping accommodations are 
furnished to the public, each six thousand feet 
of area or fractional part thereof shall be pro- 
vided with a one and three-fourths inch stand- 
pipe, and sufficient one and one-fourth inch hose 
connected therewith on each floor and constant- 
ly furnished with sufficient water pressure from 
water works or pump which can be put into 
instant action, or for each such area there shall

ment of the local fire department. There shall 
also be provided for each eight-five hundred 
feet of such area or fractional part thereof at 
least one efficient chemical fire extinguisher 
on each floor containing sleeping apartments. 
If, for lack of water works or steam to operate 
pumps the inside stand-pipe is impracticable, 
then, in addition to the fire extinguishers there 
shall be placed in the hallway on each floor con- 
taining sleeping apartments one barrel of water 
and two pails labeled "For fire purposes only.' , 
For each twenty-five hundred feet of area or 
fraction thereof on such floor, a red light shall 
be kept burning all night at the head of each 
stairway above the first floor, and that near 
each approach to a stationery fire escape in 
each sleeping room above the first floor the 
following printed notice shall be conspicuously 
posted: "Exit in case of fire. Upon leaving
